benjaminmeyer+Followwondering: how to prevent or lower the risk of having Dementia/Alzheimer?I've been thinking a lot lately about brain health, particularly when it comes to preventing or lowering the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's. We hear a lot about staying physically active, eating well, and even skincare routines. But I didn't know much about actively safeguarding our minds. Personally, I've been diving into Sudoku, puzzles, and Tetris. What about you? And I believe even younger people should pay attention to brain health. I'd love to hear more. #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #AlzheimersAwareness #CognitiveHealth #HealthyAging #Health 382Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowThis Everyday Item Slashes Dementia RiskTurns out, using hearing aids before you hit 70 could seriously lower your risk of dementia—by a whopping 61%! Most people don’t realize that age-related hearing loss can speed up brain decline, but popping in those aids keeps your mind sharp and social life buzzing. Only 17% of folks with moderate to severe hearing loss actually use them, though. If you’re always cranking up the TV or asking people to repeat themselves, maybe it’s time for a checkup! #Health #BodyHealth #DementiaPrevention140Share
Misty Brady+FollowVaccines & Dementia: Surprising Link!Did you know some vaccines might secretly help protect your brain? A massive study found that older adults who got the shingles (Shingrix) or RSV (Arexyv) vaccines had a lower risk of dementia than those who just got the flu shot. The wild part? It’s not about fighting viruses—it could be the immune-boosting ingredient in these shots doing the magic. Scientists are still figuring out why, but this could totally change how we think about dementia! #Health #BodyHealth #DementiaPrevention629Share
wilsonjames+FollowLow-Carb Diets & Dementia: The Surprising LinkCutting carbs might do more than slim your waistline—it could help protect your brain! New research suggests that eating fewer carbs may reduce the buildup of harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer’s. Apparently, too much sugar in the brain can make these proteins clump up, leading to dementia symptoms. By dialing back on bread, pasta, and rice, you might actually boost your brain’s defenses. Wild, right? Would you try keto for your mind? #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #LowCarb #Health #BodyHealth162Share
shermandarlene+FollowOzempic Might Protect Your Brain?!Turns out, Ozempic (yep, the diabetes/weight loss med) could do more than shrink your waistline—it might slash your risk of dementia by nearly half! A huge study found people with type 2 diabetes on semaglutide had way lower odds of developing Alzheimer’s compared to those on other meds. The effect was even stronger for women, younger folks, and people with obesity. It’s not a magic bullet yet (more research needed), but wow, this could be a game-changer! #Ozempic #DementiaPrevention #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Charles Christensen+FollowOzempic: Not Just for Weight Loss?Turns out Ozempic and Wegovy might do more than help you drop pounds—they could actually lower your risk of dementia! A massive study found people on these meds had a much lower chance of developing Alzheimer’s compared to those on other diabetes drugs, especially women and older adults. Scientists think it’s because these meds tackle a bunch of dementia risk factors at once. More research is coming, but this could be a total game changer for brain health! #Ozempic #DementiaPrevention #BrainHealth #Health121Share
john24+FollowThis Simple Habit Could Slash Dementia RiskTurns out, protecting your brain later in life might be as easy as tweaking a few habits now. A new study says things like keeping your blood pressure in check, not smoking, staying active, and watching your cholesterol could cut your dementia risk by up to 44%! Bonus: these same moves can also lower your cancer risk by half. Who knew your daily walk and salad could be such game-changers? #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #HealthyHabits #Health #BodyHealth690Share
QuantumQuirk+FollowHow Many Steps Do You Really Need?I've always wondered if hitting 10k steps a day was just hype. Turns out, getting close to 9,800 steps is linked to the biggest drop in dementia risk! Even just 3,800 steps a day can cut your risk by 25%. Makes me want to walk a little more each day—it's easier than I thought. #BrainHealth #StayActive #DementiaPrevention #Health #BodyHealth11Share
Joshua Morris+FollowNever Too Late for a Brain-Boosting DietTurns out, switching to the MIND diet—even later in life—could seriously lower your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s. A new study found people who improved their MIND diet habits cut their dementia risk by up to 25%! The best part? The benefits showed up across different backgrounds, especially for white, Latino, and African American folks. Think leafy greens, berries, nuts, and olive oil. Who knew eating smarter could be such a game-changer for your brain? #MINDdiet #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #Health40Share
DreamerDust+FollowWhy Deep Sleep Matters for Brain HealthEver wondered why deep sleep feels so refreshing? It’s not just about waking up energized—your brain actually depends on it. A recent study found that for people over 60, losing just 1% of deep sleep each year could raise dementia risk by 27%. Deep sleep, also called slow-wave sleep, is when your body repairs itself and your brain clears out waste, including proteins linked to Alzheimer’s. Researchers tracked over 300 older adults for years and noticed that less deep sleep often came before signs of dementia. Even after considering factors like age, genetics, and medication, the link remained strong. While the study didn’t prove that poor sleep causes dementia, it suggests that protecting your deep sleep could help keep your mind sharp as you age. Prioritizing good sleep habits might be one of the simplest ways to support long-term brain health. #DeepSleep #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #Health #Wellness510Share
